As a Canadian, this is utterly embarrassing. I can't believe it was happening for years, even at the under-16 level, and was common knowledge.
I think they should withdraw from the Olympics voluntarily. I get that it sucks for the athletes, but at this point, the best thing they could do is set an example for younger kids. I've seen high school teams get booted from tournaments for less.
- janice1999 2y agoAs embarrassing and disappointing as it must be for Canadians, the fact their team put drone operation skills in a job advertisement is honestly hilarious.
- hluska 2y agoIt’s honestly not. Drones are a very common part of soccer - they are a way for staff to see what is happening from above. They’re only an issue when you use them to spy on your opponents.
- boomboomsubban 2y agoI wonder if they're allowed to withdraw without consequence. I can't imagine the IOC would be thrilled about two matches being canceled, particularly one against France which will probably see over ten thousand fans. And though your point of setting an example is completely fair, I can easily imagine the IOC saying they refused to play as they couldn't win anyway.
